(740 ILCS 40/6) (from Ch. 100 1/2, par. 19)
Sec. 6.
If the existence of the nuisance is established, the court shall
enter a judgment perpetually restraining all persons from maintaining or
permitting such nuisance, and from using the place in which the same is
maintained for any purpose, except a purpose that the court designates,
for a period of one year thereafter, unless such judgment is sooner
vacated, as hereinafter provided, and perpetually restraining the defendant
from maintaining any such nuisance within the jurisdiction of the court. No
injunction shall be entered against an owner, nor shall an order be
entered that any place be closed or kept closed, if it appears that the
owner or his or her agent has in good faith endeavored to prevent the
nuisance or did not have knowledge of the nuisance. An owner or agent who
has complied with the recommendations requested by the State's Attorney
under Section 3.1 of this Act shall be deemed to have endeavored in good
faith to prevent the nuisance. While the judgment remains in effect, such place
shall be in the custody of the court. An order of abatement shall also
be entered as a part of such judgment, which order shall direct the sheriff
of the county to remove from such place all fixtures and movable property
used in conducting or aiding or abetting such nuisance, and to sell the
same in the manner provided by law for the sale of chattels in the
enforcement of a judgment for the payment of money, and to close such place
against its use for any purpose, except a purpose that the court
designates, and to keep it closed for a period of one year unless sooner
released as hereinafter provided. The sheriff's fees for removing and
selling the movable property shall be taxed as a part of the costs, and
shall be the same as those for levying upon and selling like property in
the enforcement of a judgment for the payment of money. For closing the
place and keeping it closed, the court shall allow a reasonable fee to be
taxed as part of the costs. Nothing in this Act contained shall authorize
any relief respecting any other place than that named in the complaint.
